一股心血来潮 and Kirin fixed a pinkie Disney princess scooter for 小雨。A gift from her 1-year old birthday party last year but seriously, it's meant for toddlers 3 years and above. She was excited but ended up just having a new low roller chair, which she could pedal around with her little feet. Well, it's hard to imagine 小雨 balancing herself on the scooter. The little girl still fumbles when she walks.

A scooter is like a must-have commuting tool around the housing estate for every heartlander kid of the generation Z, or at least in the west of Singapore. You scoot to the nearby kopitiam for lunch, scoot to the playground for a swing or slide, or scoot to join your friends for some scooting competition in the neighbourhood.It's just faster with your scooter, and certainly less tiring and less cumbersome than riding a bicycle. I guess between my girl watching her way with a scooter, vs bumping around with her eyes stuck on an iPad, I would choose the former. Unless she's disciplined enough to just walk and watch the trees, a fallen leaf, a tweeting bird or a napping cat, like the way she does now as a dawdler. You know I know that's highly unlikely.

"Hoo ah ah ah Monkey!" she exclaimed suddenly, while monkeying around in the living room, and gave me a cheeky grin. Heard her preschool mate saying that the other day. That's how fast 小雨 is picking things up in school.
